Never having written a book before, I must admit that the process has taken me somewhat by surprise. Although I have mapped out what I want to say by creating a chapter list that contains a few paragraphs on each, when I sit down to start each one I’m briefly filled by a feeling of terror.
For a short while I look at the blank computer screen and think that I’ll be lucky to think of enough to say beyond a couple of hundred words. Yet once I get going I find that it becomes much easier and a few days later I have 3,000 words that appear to have come from nowhere. 🙂
Whether it makes sense to anyone else, of course, is another matter.
